You seem to know suspiciosly much about these tactics.

Apparently Tripper is starting at left back today. 
Walker left back is what I've heard.Apparently Tripper is starting at left back today.
equally dumb when you have Shaw and Chilwell. Unbelievable stuff.
Permissions can't be set for threads but forums only so it'd have to be the Euro forum as a whole. I'll tag the boss and see what he thinks @Niall
It would be a huge slap in the face to Shaw and Chillwell if this news about playing a RB as a LB is true. You play players out of position when you need to, not when you have 2 fantastic left backs available to you (who are better full backs than the their rumoured replacement anyway).
Shaw is literally the best full back in the squad - all round. Grealish should be an automatic starter. Surely you don't play a weakened side against Croatia? Crazy stuff.
It's not what you know. It's what you can prove.
Sounds like Southgate is relying on a set piece to win the game. The only reason I can see Trippier in the team.
Southgate channeling his inner Pep?Apparently Tripper is starting at left back today.
But Harry Kane's going to take the freekicks and Mason Mount is quality on corners. Makes no sense at all.
I really hope that’s true, Southgate what a clown.
I hope Kane is on corners for the ultimate throwback feel.
England squad is absolutely beast... You guys will be fine. Those rumoured XI's are mindboggling though.

What the feck is wrong with Southgate?
Southgate's at the wheel!
What an absolute buffoon that man is. Great time to be a United and England fan.
Sancho not even on the bench wtf is Southgate doing
wtf is Southgate doingWhy the feck is there two keepers on the bench?Sancho not even on the bench
That’s so strange. Two keepers on the bench as well but no Sancho.Sancho not even on the bench
Doesn't help himself does he? No Shaw or Chilwell is ridiculous
Surely the only explaination is that he is intentionally trying to finish 2nd. 
I'm happy - one less chance for him to pick up an injury.
That is a very strange first team Southgate has picked, think Croatia will have a field day on the ball
Southgate has just saved me 2 hours of my weekend for which I’m very grateful
Ross Barkley, Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere and all.Oh god.
What 'rising stars' did we have in 2014 ?
Anyway, sounds somewhat familiar.
When you look at the starting lineups of Italy vs England that day too that level of punditry almost ceases to be funny and actually becomes frightening: apparently Gary Cahill, Phil jageilka, Glen Johnson, Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson are all better plays than De Rossi, Pirlo, Verratti, Marchiso, and Giorgio fecking Chiellini
Anyway, back on topic, this England for once actually does justify optimism for England fans. Think England will do well.
I guess you could say that or has he picked up an injury already?
What an odd team.
I also thought that when I posted. Hope not.
Mings will make a mistake that leads to a penalty or goal.
I'd suggest good odds that he gets sent off, VAR means there's no hiding place for his thug idiocy.

God I love Southgate, might be a danger of England winning something without him.
England 3-0. Trippier brace, Mings one - bullet header (from a Trippier corner).
Clearly injuredSancho not even on the bench
It’s a bit weird to me that he’s not even on the bench. I’m sure it will be mentioned.
He’s a shambles, no idea how he has this job when his only other experience is relegating Middlesbrough.
Thats because SanchON.Sancho not even on the bench
I find it incredible that Southgate would rather have two keepers on the bench rather than one of Europe’s most creative players
